It is forecast to continue moving ENE and become a strong hurricane before making landfall along the northern Gulf Coast on Friday. This means that no significant impacts are expected for Southeast Texas.
Increasing winds and swells in the Gulf waters are expected later in the week along with the potential for minor coastal flooding.
An infographic from the National Weather Service Houston/Galveston detailing a "Small Craft Advisory" in effect from 7 AM CDT Thursday through at least 7 AM CDT Friday. The advisory applies to the High Island to Matagorda Shipping Channel (0-60 NM), which is highlighted in purple on the provided coastal map. Forecasted conditions include seas of 4 to 7 feet near the shore and 7 to 9 feet offshore, driven by northeast winds at 20 to 25 knots with gusts up to 30 knots. The graphic warns that inexperienced mariners in smaller vessels should avoid navigating in these hazardous conditions.
An infographic titled "Wednesday's Outlook: Warm with Lower Humidity" from the National Weather Service Houston/Galveston. The text indicates high temperatures ranging from 88 to 94°F, north/northeast winds around 5 to 10 mph (breezier at the coast), and possible spotty or isolated showers at the coast with a better chance offshore. The accompanying map of Southeast Texas shows city-specific high temperatures in the upper 80s to mid-90s and indicates scattered precipitation along the coastal areas and the Gulf.
An "Extended Weather Outlook" infographic from the National Weather Service Houston-Galveston displaying three data tables for Southeast Texas cities from Wednesday, October 7 through Tuesday, October 13. The tables cover High Temperatures (°F), Low Temperatures (°F), and Probability of Rain (%). High temperatures are forecasted mostly in the upper 80s to low 90s, while low temperatures range from the upper 50s and 60s inland to the upper 70s along the coast. The probability of rain remains generally low across the region, though coastal areas like Galveston see an increase to a 40% chance of rain on Friday and Saturday.
